Teen Girls Shocked By What They Discover Inside School Yearbook

When you tell girls that they are showing too much skin, You are sexualizing that girl or teens body. It’s not the other way around.

Female students in Wasatch County, Utah are wondering why their school is sending them the message that their bodies are indecent and sexualized after their yearbook has some serious edits without their knowledge. Some students report that their photos were edited without their consent to show less skin.

According to KSTU, the school said that their students were aware of a dress code and that they even posted a warning sign advising students that their photos could be altered if they didn’t follow the dress code. However, students are saying that photos were inconsistently edited.

“I feel like they put names in a hat and pick and choose who,” Sophomore Rachel Russel told KSTU. “There were plenty of girls that were wearing thicker tank tops and half of them got edited and half of them didn’t.”

The Wasatch County Superintendent did admit that they should have applied the same rules all students.

“We only apologize in the sense that we want to be more consistent with what we’re trying to do in that sense we can help kids better prepare for their future by knowing how to dress appropriately for things,” Superintendent Terry E. Shoemaker told KSTU.

Apparently, what the school is saying to their students and what they want them to remember for the rest of their lives is that the female body is indecent and should be covered, instead of teaching their girls AND boys that their bodies are just bodies and shouldn’t be sexualized and seen as indecent.
